2014-2015 schedule thread

Why are we playing an exhibition against a non-Div I in the middle of the season? Looks like they play Radford and UNCW as well.

Beyond weird.

Looks like Dec 3rd is a doubleheader too:

The in-conference doubleheaders with the women don't make sense. The men play Davidson at 7, but the women play at 2 on 1/24. WTF? Why not have the women tip at 3:30?

Is this Mason's version of a day-night doubleheader?

 

[EXpatriot13]

So, in between the Northern Iowa and Iona games we're playing Catawba...makes so much sense. Talk about an upgrade in competition come the Iona game..

Catawba to be played in the RAC. I wonder how that will work logistically since the capacity is 1,500. I would think there are more than 1,500 season ticket holders.

They'll probably have tickets given out based on priority points like the CBI game.

Weren't there tickets for sale the day of because the season ticketholders didn't claim all of them? And that was against a Division I team...

 

[The Great PATSby]

That game isn't listed on my Mason Nation account. Does anyone have it on theirs? That could explain the whole priority points theory. I'm only 5 years deep.

Yeah there were some tickets available day of. I wouldn't be shocked if it happens again.

I suspect since its a "special event" anyone who wants tickets has to "apply" for them, much like the CBI game. I don't have it under my Mason Nation account either.

I doubt there will be any trouble getting tickets to the game.

I probably shouldn't nitpick, but who seriously considers the opener vs. Cornell as one of the best games on Mason's home schedule?

 

[GSII]

Bill Courtney coming back home? Yea, its a strech.

Bill Courtney vs. Paul Hewitt: Perhaps, the game should be billed as the 2014-15 Coaches' Hot Seat Tip-off.

 

[GSII]

Both had crappy years. It will be interesting to see which one shows the signs of getting his team on track despite a win or loss.

 

[wijg]

The game at least guarantees one of them will have a D1 win this season

I guess I'm the only one excited to be playing Catawba....as they are my Alma Mater. Great little school from Salisbury North Carolina. Ever tried Cheerwine soft drink? Salisbury is the home of Cheerwine and Food Lion. I do find it odd that we play them right in the middle of the year.

Trivia Question: Name the Patriot who has played 2 games vs. Dawgs99's alma mater?

Myles Tate while playing for Mars Hill, a conference fellow of Catawba. Tricky you are Pablo.

You are correct! Speaking of the State of North Carolina, today is the 60-year anniversary of Hurricane Hazel coming ashore in NC.
